| It's amazing how attuned...yet out of tune...your mind can become. In my case, the poor little thing seems to have been brainwashed by Balmain's exorbitant pricing ($12,500 for a jacket, $14,000 for a dress, $3,000 for jeans) to such an extent that it's first thought when faced with a $1,900 quilted leather handbag was "that's not a bad price"...meaning, albeit depressingly, that that's about standard for a designer bag these days and one would expect Balmain's bags to be as over-the-top pricewise as the rest of their wares. Thankfully it's second thought was how completely unappealing said bag actually is... |  |
My threshold for what constitutes "expensive" has risen exponentially over the past few years. And yet, I don't think that the quality of my wardrobe is that much higher or that I wear stuff that much longer.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how our perspective shifts along a sliding scale, eh?
